[Bug 822885] Re: Firefox makes X hang when viewing big images

 

Thanks for reporting this problem.

I am not able to reproduce this by going to the address you gave while
using FF 3.6.20. You're report says you were using 3.6.18 at the time.
Are you still having this problem after updating Firefox?

Title:
  Firefox makes X hang when viewing big images

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've experienced some times now that when I load big images in
  Firefox, the X server hangs. This occurs with a default Firefox
  profile, and for example reproducible on
  http://sortvis.org/algorithms/bubblesort.html (needs JavaScript). In
  this case, Xorg goes up to 100% CPU, and I does not react to key
  presses (except when using the SysRq shortcuts to kill it). I have a
  backtrace (see gdb-Xorg-direct.txt), with Xorg started from gdb as
  root, and then browsing Firefox to the mentioned URL. From the
  backtrace, it seems to be related with libpixman; however, when I
  install libpixman-1-0-dbg to get a reasonable backtrace, the X hangs
  do not occur anymore...

  I am currently using Ubuntu Lucid LTS, with Firefox 3.6.18+build2
  +nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.2 from lucid-updates.
